If H C U L T Y I hope to grow old gracefully, reveling in the triumphs of my daughter, and attempting to write the Great Hmerican Novel, but I suppose I'll spend most of my time counting my pension, trying to make one dollar do what two did before. GRHCE MORSE. Retire'? On a desert isle beneath a tropical moon raising goofus birds to supply goofus feathers to a goofey world, says CHHRLIENE HLLQN. In the words of the poet, Who knows? E. PHRKS. Retire? Yes, I hope so. By that time I should be able to organize an Pllumni Glee Club of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and a few grandsons and daughters, singing in the soprano part. When that happy day arrives, be sure to join us, you and your progeny. We'll sing Three Cheers for Torrance and really mean itl MHRIORIE EISCHEN. When I retire, with fabled riches, 'Twill be to a place for which I itches: H house, with roomy attic, In a land quite free from static, Where short-waves aren't so darned erratic. F. WEDDING-HRM. When I retire after making my first million dollars from school teaching I intend to lie on my back and attempt to get back the 25 pounds I lost during the last football season, and then let the rest of the world go by. B. I. DONHUHE. When I retire from teaching the youth, I expect to hitch up my Chevie, forsooth, Rnd hie me up to redwoods tall, Finally opening my home to orphans small. IRENE MILLS. Hfter spending my S3200 each month, I shall set around and gab with the other has-beens and tell about how much better we useta do things. H. B. FINDREWS. When I retire, I expect to set my alarm clock for six o'clock every morn- ing so that I may hear it ring and then turn over again for a good long snooze. I-lfter I make up a few years of early morning sleep, I want to go places and see things in other countries. ETHEL BURNI-IRM. I hope to visit the public libraries and read the articles giving advice to parents on raising their children and then write to the authors, inquiring if they have tried out any of their suggested schemes of child-raising on their own children. F. E. BHRROW. I shall write a book entitled lacks and Iills at a Certain Famous Institu- tion of Learning, and illustrate it with cartoons of Love's Old Sweet Song as observed at T. I-I. S. I HDH M.

F R C U L T Y SOME FHCULTY MEMBERS HNTICIPPITE RETIREMENT You ask for a humorous statement on how I expect to spend my time after retiring. Personally, I can't see anything humorous about my retiring, and that sort o' cramps my style. There is only one thing I have definitely decided upon when that time comes, namely, to actually catch enough-and big enough-fish to make good on all the fishing yarns I have kidded myself into thinking my friends have believed all these years. That ought to keep me plenty busy all the time I have left. THOMHS H. ELSON. If I should live to retire, I think I shall drive up to the school every morn- ing and watch all the other teachers go in. Then, I shall drive home and read fairy tales, stories of good little boys and girls who always mind their P's and O's. Then, l'll go and call on friends I never had time to go to see in the old school days. In fact, if I live to retire, I'll really begin to live. A Eva IONES. It will be a great life to be a real modern grandmother, and that is what I'm contemplating in my old age. I hope to live within walking distance of my married children and shall spend my time knitting for the little ones-who knowsl I may even resume my roller-skating and bicycle riding. Perhaps, l'll have a grandson who will fly a plane, and maybe, he'll take Granny along. Since life begins at forty, I'm looking forward to a gay old age. LOIS L. ENGEL. I plan to locate in the South Seas, there I shall stalk the wild boar, ride the breakers, hunt the giant turtle, cultivate the bread fruit treeg and study the other natives. Hnyone who is interested in such a life may come and talk it over. Departure will not take place until about 1972. WILLIPIM E. CROW. When I'm a nice old lady, I shall sit by the tire and spin-spin yarns about the humorous sayings and doings of the pupils of Torrance High in bygone days. STELLH YOUNG. It is not the writer's ambition to be either the wit or the nit-wit of the Torrance faculty. Wise-cracking, day-dreaming, or, romancing in the moon- light, sooth-saying, or crystal-gazing, seem never to have been destined to be my particular talent according to the signs of the Zodiac. Perhaps in the year Two Thousand regular passenger trips will be scheduled to the moon, and there will be a demand for teachers of ancient history. Then I shall fondly relate the tales of the Evolution of the Machine Hge, which marked the crisis during the years of my youth. One thing is certain. There will always be someone in need of a friendly smile, a kindly deed, or a garden to putter in when youth moves too fast to meet the devotion of a young-old school- marm. SHRH H. VAUBEL. Instead of coming back to school in September when I retire, I want to take a trip around the world and then come back to a home with a large garden where I can raise beautiful flowers.
